Missouri voters could face numerous issues next year

Missourians could be faced with a lot of issues on the November ballot next year.

The Secretary of State’s office has approved two more initiative petitions to be circulated in Missouri. One seeks to further tighten restrictions on stem cell research and prohibit the state legislature or local governments from spending taxpayer money on any abortion research or services. The second would define “person” in the Missouri Constitution as beginning from biological development, granting all rights conveyed by the Constitution.
